#queer adventures

Today I went to a birthday party. I met this dude that's a coworker of most my friends (the librarian bunch, went to Uni after I did). Cool guy, we talked about DnD and I thought it was awesome he was wearing eyeliner.

I left the place with one of my oldest friends from Uni and another girl that also workd with them and at some point they looked at each other and one as "hey, is [Cool guy] GAY?" and they started theorizing, and said that they felt bad because they've recently learned he's had girlfriends and now they think he was being nice because he was flirting.

They looked at me and I said something like "who cares, he's nice" and they were like "oh, but he likes to watch mushrooms and sweeping the floors". Mind you, the guy never once made any advance on any of them. They were genuienly angry because they had thought he's gay and if they'd knew they'd act different towards him (like that's the guy's fault?).

I haven't felt so out of place and completely scared of what to say in a long time. I sat by them at the table with my "impolite bisexual" and "ace and anxious" water bottle's stickers, and they thought it was a good idea to share with me their prejudice about someone else's sexuality and intentions.

After that I remembered how [Cool Guy] looked at my unmistakably queer backpack and waterbottle and decided to sit next to me and complaint about how the DnD scene was such a heterocis space, and thought that I hope that at least today he felt like wasn't prejudged.

And this is why we still need pride.

I came out to my ninang a day early and she was the best. She said my parents aren’t allowed to treat me differently because I’m still the same person, and that I can still have kids and be in a fulfilling, loving relationship as long as the person I get with is good to me, but she said she understood why I’d still be in the closet because my parents are Republicans and judgmental.

So yeah, came out to my first family member and I cried a little and she wasn’t condescendingly curious asking if I’ve even kissed girls or if I’m sure I’m not straight. We laughed and talked about why I came out to her and not my actual blood relatives. I knew she was the right person when I made a self deprecating joke about looking unkept and not wanting her to see me like that and she said “it’s okay, we’re family!”

Also she gave me money, but that’s just because I’m her goddaughter and she wanted to give me money for the trip home.

there's certain cars I can't look at without laughing, because what do you MEAN we scissored in the back seat of your scion??? 💀

Getting all interested when the *very drunk* woman seated next to me confidingly tells me that the woman with her is her girlfriend because hooray! A fellow gay!

And then it turns out that I managed to miss her reassuring everyone that she's straight really because god forbid anyone actually mistake her for a queer.

My friend took me to a cabaret in London and since I was Out In London, I borrowed one of her Rich Girl dresses and put on makeup and then one of the comedians did a whole bit about how I was 'one of those perfect girls' who wakes up early and drinks green juice and has an amazing Instagram and it was SO strange and so funny because my day-to-day self is so incredibly scruffy.
